Annual Giving

We have a long-standing tradition of philanthropy at ROBS. And like all independent schools, we depend on the generosity of our entire community to sustain and advance our mission. Over the years, parents, alumni, grandparents, teachers, staff members, past parents, and friends have helped craft a culture of ambitious academics rooted in abiding values.

But our supporters understand that excellence doesn’t happen by accident—it requires steadfast dedication in time, talent, and financial resources.

A contribution to our Annual Giving campaign is the first gift we ask of every alum, parent, grandparent, past parent, teacher, staff member, and friend. And overwhelmingly, they answer, “Yes!” Each year our community donates more than $1 million to support our programs, accounting for an amazing 6% of our operating budget. Every aspect of our school—from academics to the arts, from sports teams to technology, from facilities to financial aid—relies on Annual Giving.

We are fortunate to have so many families in our fold who believe strongly in the power of giving. Together, these gifts elevate every child’s experience at ROBS.
